Photo Challenge: Monochrome

This week, the good people of WordPress issued a “monochrome” photo challenge. OK. I’m in.

Here’s the cream-on-cream sleeve of a wedding dress decorated entirely in sea shells. Not that that would be too heavy to move in or impossible to sit in. You can feast your eyes on this baby at thePeabody Museumin Salem, MA, when you’re in that town and need a break from the witch business.

Here comes the sorely weighted down bride…dum dum da dummmm…

Next, we have the gentle golden glow of lights in a grape-cluster chandelier. I want one of these in my house soooo bad. See them for yourself atDr. Frank’swinery inKeuka Lake. (And plus, there’s wine!)

Tres glamorous!

In the right light, battleships look more blue than grey. Welcome to theUSS North Carolina, docked in Wilmington, NC. And by “right light”, I mean, against a blue-blue sky.

You got something to say?

TheBuffalo Valley Rail Trailboasts all manner of flora, which crumbles into funky shapes of brown and grey when the seasons change. Behold a desiccated milkweed pod.

Monarch butterflies love these things.

And today, right outside my front door, I noticed a funky little leaf curling in upon itself, tucked in among the rhododendron bush.

Fractaltastic! (Science joke. If you don’t get it…you won’t get it.)

There’s my monochromatic photos. I hope you enjoyed, and maybe even decide to play along (if you haven’t already, of course). Thanks for dropping by!
